How do stablecoins affect forex liquidity?

Stablecoins like USDT and USDC serve as digital proxies for USD, increasingly used in cross-border transactions. This reinforces dollar dominance in global trade. Institutions explore stablecoin settlement for efficiency, while retail traders already use them for transfers. Benefits: faster, cheaper transactions and 24/7 liquidity. Risks: reserve transparency, de-pegging risks, and regulatory crackdowns. Stablecoins blur the boundary between crypto and forex. Their rise signals a future where digital fiat complements traditional FX liquidity pools.
